Chapter 1501: Royalty Assaulter
Dual Earth Mountain was located at the boundary between Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent.
Zhengming Continent and Wupan Continent were separated by a huge dragon-like mountain range. The two continents were almost completely isolated.
However, there were actually some secretive passages between the two continents. Those passages allowed some interactions between the people from the two continents, saving the trouble of taking a big detour.
Those passages were usually well hidden. There were even rumors that the hidden residence of the two royalties were within some special passages, normal people would not be able to pass them.
That was actually the fact. The passages between the two continents were managed by the two royalties. Without their permission, people could not easily cross between the two continents.
Liu Binglan had travelled to the borders of Zhengming Continent rather often recently. However, she knew little about this Tundra Mountain Range.
She often heard about the matters related to the two royalties vaguely from those border lords. Even those high and mighty border lords seemed to carry some respect and fear towards the royalties.
“Uncle Yu, what kind of faction is this Hidden Pupil Royalty? Are they even higher in authority than Divine Sect?” Liu Binglan asked Uncle Yu who was accompanying her.
“About that, leaving aside the overall strength, Divine Sect is definitely the strongest, no doubt about that. Hidden Pupil Royalty is a clan with low population. The average strength of their clan is higher than most of the people in our continent. Due to various reasons, they rarely got involved with worldly matters. They will only show up when it’s related to the survival of the entire race,” explained Uncle Yu with a smile.
His explanation was a little vague, it could not directly indicate the authority those royalties had amongst the human race.
At that moment, Yu Suo, with a veil covering her peerless beauty, voiced out, “They are actually a group of human guardians. However, they are unwilling to guard humanity quietly, so they call themselves royalties. They are stuck with the awkward identity between supreme ruler and guardian.”
Her tone was plain, but anyone could tell her attitude towards Hidden Pupil Royalty was that of disdain.
Uncle Yu’s smile faded a little. However, after thinking carefully, it seemed that what Yu Suo said was actually correct. So he could only shook his head helplessly.
Yu Suo also took a glance at Uncle Yu and the corner of her lips curved.
She realized some things, but she was too lazy to speak.
“There will be a small city ahead. Let’s rest for the day and continue the journey tomorrow morning?” suggested Uncle Yu.
“Huh? Uncle Yu, is the map with you? How do you know there’s a small city ahead? It’s Xishui City. I heard it’s a beautiful and elegant city,” said Pang Yue.
Uncle Yu realized he spoke too much and coughed to cover up, “Umm, I saw the map just now and remembered it. My memory is still quite good.”
“Oh,” Pang Yue nodded and turned to Liu Binglan, “Aunt Liu, are we resting in Xishui City?”
“Yes,” Liu Binglan nodded.
The others travelling along were Bai Yu, Senior Elder Xiao, ten Holy Guards and Holy Guard Captain, Yu Suo, Madam Gao, Gao He, as well as Yu Suo’s subordinates.
Madam Gao and Yu Suo were originally within the invited namelist. Hence, this group was divided into two batches. One batch represented New Moon Land with Liu Binglan taking lead, with Bai Yu getting invited individually. The other batch had Yu Suo taking lead. She brought quite a number of people. There were around ten people with her. Other than Madam Gao, there were Guang Moon Palace’s Saintess Guards.
Liu Binglan was also unsure how much power Yu Suo grasped as Saintess Yu over the past few years. However, she could tell that the people Yu Suo brought this time were all very strong.
After arriving at Xishui City, they rode on their own soul pets and descended into the city.
Xishui City lived up to its name. Water flowed along the streets and alleys, fountains gushed out and rivers circled around the city. The scenery was elegant and unique, making one wonder just who meticulously created such a city.
It was the first time Pang Yue visited such a unique city. She did not feel fatigued at all despite travelling for a few days. She dragged others of similar age like Gao He and started strolling in the city.
The others were not very interested and returned to rest in their own rooms.
Yu Suo’s subordinates only obeyed her. After Yu Suo went ot rest, they took guard nearby.
However, they did not notice that after they entered Xishui City, there were two individuals trailing behind them all the time. The two individuals only blended into the alley after the group found a resting place.
The two individuals wore normal clothes. They did not summon any soul pets, so nobody would take notice of them in the crowd.
After they confirmed the resting place of Liu Binglan’s group, they entered another yard within Xishui City.
This yard was very close to the city lord mansion. The owner of this yard probably had some special relationship with the city lord.
“Seen her?” In the pavilion, an old lady asked with half opened eyes.
“Yes,” replied the middle-aged stalker.
“Why didn’t you do it?” said the old lady with a cold tone, “The first time I see you, I told you what you need to do. The second time I see you, I either see your corpses, or see the person I wanted before me.”
The two middle-aged men immediately knelt down to plead for forgiveness.
“Saintess Yu and Madam Gao are travelling together with them. Other than that, Half Human Bai Yu master specifically invited is also amongst them. With the strength of us two, it’s probably difficult to......” said the man with a beard.
“Saintess Yu? What Saintess Yu?” The old lady lived in hermit and was not well informed in matters of the outside world.
“She’s a mysterious woman well received by many people within Zhengming Continent in the recent years. She is also within the special invitation list. Currently, many factions are staying away from New Moon Land. We don’t know why this Saintess Yu is actually travelling with them,” said the other man.
“Hmph, what can a little girl who just knows how to use some tricks to do some good deeds and show off her looks amount to? Just because she’s in the group, you two are already afraid. You don’t deserve to be a member of my royalty!” snorted the old lady.
“Madam, you may not know, but the subordinates that Saintess Yu brought are all quite strong. If we made our moves, we can barely gain a little advantage. However, there are still a few experts on New Moon Land’s side,” said the two.
“I don’t want to hear such nonsense. What I want is to bring her here alive. If you cannot do it......” The old lady waved her hand and became impatient.
The two did not dare to reason anymore and hurriedly backed off.
......
“Qu Feng, we cannot accomplish the task this time,” said the bearded middle-aged man.
The man called Qu Feng rubbed his beard stub and spoke after thinking for a long time, “We need to find helpers.”
“Helpers? Who is willing to help us, and we cannot tell them our identities?”
Qu Feng thought for a moment, “A few days ago, didn’t we welcome a woman? Do you know the real identity of that woman?”
“Darkness Sect’s Si Yumi?” said the bearded man.
“Yes, we can only ask Darkness Sect to help. We can give them enough benefits. They who always like to create commotions should not mind helping us with such a matter. They would surely like to gain our friendship,” said Qu Feng.
“Yes, let’s do that. We should visit her now. Coincidentally, she’s resting in Xishui City.”
......
Xishui City Kongshui House. This is a teahouse that looked like a pagoda, with countless curved water currents flowing down on the edges of the eaves.
On the highest floor of the teahouse, a tanned man was leaning at the side without moving. If one did not look at that spot specifically, nobody could notice his existence.
A mature woman was not far from that tanned man. She was looking at the scenery of the city next to the window.
“Miss, Mister Qu and Mister Chen from the royalty wishes to meet you. They seem to know your identity,” said an old servant respectfully after approaching.
Si Yumi was a little confused. What business could the two have with her? Were they visiting her as individuals or as representatives from the royalty? Since when was the royalty willing to acknowledge the existence of Darkness Sect?
“Invite them up,” said Si Yumi.
Qu Feng and Chen Jing were invited to the top floor. The two of them carried a gentle smile and made a polite greeting. They also hinted that they knew Si Yumi was the daughter of the Darkness Sect Magnate.
“Just tell me what business you have. You royalties like to beat around the bush, us Darkness Sect isn’t used to it,” said Si Yumi.
Qu Feng and Chen Jing smiled after taking a glance at each other, “We want Miss Si to help us abduct a person.”
“Who?” asked Si Yumi.
“New Moon Land Female Supreme —— Liu Binglan,” said Qu Feng.
“Liu Binglan?” Si Yumi felt that name sounded familiar. After thinking a bit, her expression changed slightly, “Oh? What do you want to do with her? New Moon Land should not have entered the eyes of you royalties, right?”
“This is an order from old madam. We are only carrying it out. It’s a little difficult for us two to take her down by ourselves. So we are asking Miss Si to help,” said Qu Feng.
“Sure, but you should know that our Darkness Sect resolves problem after receiving payment,” Si Yumi nodded.
“What do you want?” said Chen Jing.
Si Yumi smiled and stood up, “This depends on what you want to give me.”
Qu Feng understood Si Yumi’s meaning and nodded, “Rest assured, Miss Si will be an important guest to our royalty. Our royalty never determines whether the other party is friend or foe based on rumors.”
“It’s fine, don’t expect too much out of me. Let’s talk about whether we can build this friendship or not after this matter,” said Si Yumi.
“Hehe, as long as Miss Si is willing to help, you will be our friend no matter if we succeeded or not.”
......
Si Yumi stood there, watching Qu Feng and Chen Jing leave.
After those two left, a cold-looking man walked out from behind the windscreen.
Si Yumi looked at the approaching man and revealed a rather interesting smile.
“Shall I leave this matter to you?” asked Si Yumi.
Chu Tianmang rubbed his chin and looked at the two leaving royalty members......
Sigh, they sure found the right place!
Looks like those who assaulted Liu Binglan in Zhengming Main City were their subordinates.
